Side note: neither did skinner, he didn't see his game in person till he was at BC and was pissed at Bonzi when he saw dunn's game

Nothing about this shocks me.

Oh and Courtney Dunn was freaking awful. Donahue has a big in Van Nest who is mobile and can shoot, he just declines to play him big minutes. For all of Van Nest's faults, he's no worse than Southern or Dunn.

Van Nest can't rebound or defend. Thus he is like having a much taller Danny Rubin.

He's worse because he is redundant of the shooting guards. At 7 feet.

Point is that getting a decent 7 footer that can shoot but doesn't rebound sucks worse than getting a below average 7 footer that actually addresses a need. Donahue is assembling a team for H-O-R-S-E

You need to be able to make shots playing HORSE. This team would absolutely suck at that game.

I agree with Ballgame here. I thought Cortney Dunn sucked but this team absolutely needs another big who can rebound/defend. And it's not like Dennis Clifford is Tim Duncan out there anyways. Even when healthy, Clifford does not have much of an impact on the offensive end. We need another guy who can do what Clifford does defensively when he's out of the game (or injured). Otherwise, you're left with giving frontcourt minutes to Eddie freaking Odio.

I didn't say it was a good HORSE team.

Severe (6'2", 180) has accumulated a mixture of high-major and mid-major offers over the past year, but now appears to be blowing up and attracting a wider range of high-major interest. Everything indicates he'd be a good get, but I'm never optimistic about jumping late into a crowded recruiting scene.

Wonder if this is an indication we won't land Jorgenson.

Don't believe so. Severe just lit it up for 37 points the other night. BC offered on the spot following the game, I believe

Severe is really good, although apparently something of a late bloomer; that's why he has a bunch of high-major offers, and why some of the really heavy hitters (e.g., Indiana) are thinking seriously about jumping in. I fear that BC is going to get lost in the crowd on this one.

It because he was the second option on the team until this year

Thank you; I'd forgotten that Christ the King had Omar Calhoun as its main attraction one class ahead of Severe.

SMU, St. John’s, Boston College, Wake Forest, West Virginia and Tennessee have begun recruiting Christ the King shooting guard Jon Severe, the top unsigned senior in the city.

This list, of course, doesn't mention the schools that started recruiting him last year -- Alabama, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Seton Hall, and most of the Atlantic 10. The list may grow some more; there are other high majors considering whether to offer Severe. As I said above, BC is caught in a mob scene on this one. At least the reporter put us on the list, so we can consider BC still alive in the recruiting contest.

Commits/Recruiting in summary: 50% We don't recruit highly enough ranked players with lots of offers, 50% We shouldn't bother to recruit this highly ranked player with lots of offers because we have no chance to sign him.
